Three days remain, and I end where I began when I arrived in Europe on travel day 2: Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
The familiarity of the train station, the sight of the city’s towers, the taste of “Frankfurter Grüne Sosse”.
I have a few project goals in mind, but it’s become apparent these past few days that I’ve reached the end after my self-imposed breakneck pace of the last few months. But I still look, and I still want to document what I see. These below are some of the final observations from Frankfurt.
Food first, at Dauth Schneider in Sachsenhausen.
Summer showers outside, dry tables inside. That is, I saw the local radar, and decided to get a table inside.
Frankfurt Schnitzel: fried breaded pork cutlet, Frankfurt green sauce, and fried potatoes. Green sauce is made with 7 herbs grown only in the area: borage (Borretsch), burnet (Pinpinelle), chervil (Kerbel), chives (Schnittlauch), cress (Kresse), parsley (Petersilie), and sorrel (Sauerampfer).

Börneplatz Memorial to Holocaust Victims from Frankfurt. Bordering the old Jewish cemetery is a Wall of Names with the almost 12-thousand names of Frankfurt residents who perished.
Edith Frank (née Hollaender): 1900-1945, died in Auschwitz.
Margot Frank, eldest daughter of Edith & Otto: 1926-1945, died in Bergen-Belsen.
Annelies Frank, youngest daughter of Edith & Otto: 1929-1945, died in Bergen-Belsen. As the immediate family’s only survivor, Otto moved to Basel after liberation; he had his daughter’s diary published to the rest of the world. With his passing in 1980, Otto is buried in Basel’s Birsfelden cemetery.
I made the photos above with an iPhone15 on 3 Aug 2024. This post composed with Jetpack for iOS appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins DOT com.
